The journal was organized to reinforce research efforts on Structural geology, Paleontology, Tectonics, Geochemistry and Seismology. The studies on Structural geology discussed can also contribute to research in the domains of Structural basin, Rift, Crust, Sedimentary rock and Lithosphere. It dives deep in exploring the relationship between the study of Rift and Magmatism.
Lithosphere research in Geotectonics involves the investigation of Oceanic crust studies, all of which are linked to disciplines such as Continental crust. Geodynamics, Paleozoic, Continental margin, Fold (geology) and Cretaceous are Paleontology topics of special interest in the journal. While Geotectonics focused on Paleozoic, it was also able to explore topics like Devonian and Precambrian.
Geotectonics addresses concerns in Tectonics which are intertwined with other disciplines, such as Petrology, Geophysics and Geomorphology. Geotectonics facilitates discussions on Geochemistry that incorporate concepts from other fields like Ophiolite and Basement (geology). The presentations discussing Seismology offer insights in topics such as Fault (geology), Active fault, Induced seismicity, Strike-slip tectonics and Seismic hazard.
The published articles cover a variety of subjects, including Paleontology, Structural geology, Geochemistry, Tectonics and Earth science. The Structural geology study featured in the published papers falls within the wider field of Seismology. The most cited publications focus on Tectonics but sometimes tackle the closely related topic of Cretaceous which is concerned with Oceanic crust and Passive margin.
Geotectonics focuses on Structural geology, Tectonics, Seismology, Geochemistry and Paleontology. The Structural geology works featured in Geotectonics incorporate elements from Natural (archaeology), Crust, Fold (geology), Anticline and Fault (geology). The studies in Tectonics featured incorporate elements of Geophysics and Remote sensing.
Aside from discussions in Seismology, Geotectonics also deals with the subject of Displacement (vector) which intersects with Stress field and Deformation (mechanics) disciplines. The research on Geochemistry tackled can also make contributions to studies in the areas of Shear zone and Pluton. The study on Paleontology presented is investigated in conjunction with research in Seabed.
A key indicator for each journal is its effectiveness in reaching other researchers with the papers published at that venue.
The chart below presents the interquartile range (first quartile 25%, median 50% and third quartile 75%) of the number of citations of articles over time.
The top authors publishing in Geotectonics (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top authors publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top authors.
Only papers with recognized affiliations are considered
The top affiliations publishing in Geotectonics (based on the number of publications) are:
The overall trend for top affiliations publishing in this journal is outlined below. The chart shows the number of publications at each edition of the journal for top affiliations.
The publication chance index shows the ratio of articles published by the best research institutions in the journal edition to all articles published within that journal. The best research institutions were selected based on the largest number of articles published during all editions of the journal.
The chart below presents the percentage ratio of articles from top institutions (based on their ranking of total papers).Top affiliations were grouped by their rank into the following tiers: top 1-10, top 11-20, top 21-50, and top 51+. Only articles with a recognized affiliation are considered.
During the most recent 2021 edition, 12.50% of publications had an unrecognized affiliation. Out of the publications with recognized affiliations, 46.43% were posted by at least one author from the top 10 institutions publishing in the journal. Another 14.29% included authors affiliated with research institutions from the top 11-20 affiliations. Institutions from the 21-50 range included 25.00% of all publications and 14.29% were from other institutions.
A very common phenomenon observed among researchers publishing scientific articles is the intentional selection of journals they have already attended in the past. In particular, it is worth analyzing the case when the authors participate in the same journal from year to year.
The Returning Authors Index presented below illustrates the ratio of authors who participated in both a given as well as the previous edition of the journal in relation to all participants in a given year.
The graph below shows the Returning Institution Index, illustrating the ratio of institutions that participated in both a given and the previous edition of the conference in relation to all affiliations present in a given year.
Our experience to innovation index was created to show a cross-section of the experience level of authors publishing in a journal. The index includes the authors publishing at the last edition of a journal, grouped by total number of publications throughout their academic career (P) and the total number of citations of these publications ever received (C).
The group intervals were selected empirically to best show the diversity of the authors' experiences, their labels were selected as a convenience, not as judgment. The authors were divided into the following groups:
The chart below illustrates experience levels of first authors in cases of publications with multiple authors.

(2020)Exploring online degrees in Earth Science can open doors to diverse career opportunities across environmental consulting, geology, meteorology, and natural resource management. For those considering advanced education, online master's programs often rank among the most useful masters degrees, offering specialized skills that meet current industry demands.
If you’re seeking a quicker entry point, 2-year online degrees provide an accessible route to foundational knowledge while balancing other commitments. Many institutions offer affordable options, helping students minimize debt through cheap online colleges that still maintain quality instruction and support.
For students concerned about GPA requirements, it’s encouraging that several reputable programs welcome applicants through online graduate programs that accept 2.0 gpa. This inclusivity ensures broader access to continuing education and career advancement.
Additionally, starting with an 2 year online degrees can serve as a stepping stone into more advanced Earth Science studies or related fields, providing flexibility and a solid educational foundation tailored to evolving professional goals.
